Your first 10 minutes: from order to playing

What happens after you order, how to log in to the game panel and how to start your server for the first time.

Welcome! Here is everything that happens after you order, in the right order.

1. Your server is created

After payment (or after you start a free trial), your server is created automatically. You get an email, and the server shows up in the client area under Services. This usually takes about a minute.

2. Log in to the game panel

Go to panel.thexhosting.com and log in with the same email as your client area account.

First time? Click Forgot password? on the panel login page to set your panel password. Use a different password than your email.

3. Start the server

  1. Click your server.
  2. On the Console page, press Start.
  3. Watch the console. The first start takes a little longer because the server files are downloaded.
  4. When you see Done (Minecraft) or your bot’s “logged in” message, it’s online.

4. Join it

Your server address is shown on the Console page next to Address. See Connect to your Minecraft server for Java and Bedrock steps.
